This used to be true of me as well. Along with IP addresses of a couple of
handy DNS servers for when VSNL (India's first public ISP) had its DNS go
wonky - which was about twice/day. And IP addresses for a few other servers
which I'd work with often, in a more trusting age when one could telnet
into servers and actually get work done.

None of which is required today, except possibly the DNS servers - most of
which make an effort to be as memorable as possible: 1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.9, etc.
